I guess using French words is safe for now.

TranslateGemma is great.

Who needs to open the link when the author is well known and the title is catchy?

I would go with MCP because it can run over the internet with authentication, and it has JSON schemas.

I think it also requires internet access, so you have to enable internet.

Same. It has a double-storey a, which I prefer a lot.

I don’t like the AI writing style anymore. It’s very readable and it has great words, but it’s lacking imperfections. Like a raytraced 3D render of mathematically perfect shapes.

I don't think this author uses LLMs. I follow them online and they hate generative AI.

I guess I don’t like their style then. My bad. Sorry about that.

I've misattributed a similar writing style to AI a couple times now, which I also feel bad about.

But yeah, this is essentially the writing style that LLMs are mimicking.

[How confident are you that this writer uses AI?](https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/the-colonization-of-con...)

People forget that AI is trained on mediocre writing too, not everything a person writes is fire. Most of it is a mediocre, too long, and hard to understand; just like the outputs you get from LLMs.

Giving them a pass since he or she is blind. The text is also very large intentionally

I'm grateful for that. I never liked the hn default size even when my eyes were younger.

It's ironically kinda less accessible in total, though. Because my browser lets me zoom in on a page almost infinitely, but I can only zoom out enough to make this text go from insanely-big to uncomfortably-large.

It’s a neural network. You can see the macro pretending to be real aspects because our brain is neural too. Interesting, but not thinking.

> I don't mean that Azure is risky.

Depending on the company and their sector, people will nod in approval, or start laughing.

My company also accepted the risk of using Microsoft. We have a "data sharing agreement" together, with very powerful magical words. Compliance people are happy and sleep well.

I consider Azure risky and I would love to hear more about the companies and sectors that would laugh (with me). So which ones are you talking about?

MCP is superior to CLI by design, and it’s not even close. I don’t understand the sudden hype towards CLI for agents.

Would you mind elaborating on the superiority you perceive?

For MCP servers, there's no need to install a potentially untrusted software on your computer. Remote MCP can do very little harm, a CLI though? You're vulnerable to bad actors or supply chain attacks.

For client side MCP it's a different story.

Explorable by design, can be served through HTTP, OAuth integration.

Most CLI tools have JSON support. Your arguments fall flat pretty short.

I think MCP is fine in an env where you have no access to tools, but you cannot ripgrep your way through an MCP (unless you make an MCP that calls ripgrep on e.g. a repo, which in that case what are you doing).

Tool calls can have JSON schema enforced on lower level (token sampling). Although, I'm not sure if major providers do it, but I don't see any reason why they wouldn't.

I am not sure I agree on your statement about most CLI tools having JSON support. First, I’m not sure it’s true. But most are for sure not coming with JSON schemas for inputs and outputs.

GitHub Copilot Pro plus gives you access to many models and if you use them a lot, Microsoft loses money (though they can brag about one more active user and get your data).

It doesn’t give you the largest context windows, but most models perform poorly when the context is very big so it’s not a dealbreaker to me.
